| 1. Daily, daily sing to Mary; Sing, my soul, her praises due. All her glorious actions cherish, With the heart’s devotion true. Lost in wond’ring contemplation, Be her majesty confessed! Call her Mother, call her Virgin, Happy Mother, Virgin blest! |
2. She is mighty in her pleading, Tender in her loving care; Ever watchful, understanding, All our sorrows she will share. Advocate and loving mother, Mediatrix of all grace: Heaven’s blessings she dispenses On our sinful human race. |
| 3. Sing, my tongue, the Virgin’s honors, Who for us her Maker bore, For the curse of old inflicted, Peace and blessings to restore. Sing in songs of praise unending, Sing the world’s majestic Queen; Weary not nor faint in telling All the gifts that earth has seen. |
4. All my senses, heart, affections, Strive to sound her glory forth. Spread abroad the sweet memorials Of the Virgin’s priceless worth. Where the voice of music thrilling, Where the tongues of eloquence, That can utter hymns befitting All her matchless excellence? |
| 5. All our graces flow through Mary; All then join her praise to sing: Fairest work of all creation, Mother of creation’s King. Sing in songs of peace unending, Call upon her lovingly: Seat of wisdom, Gate of heaven, Morning star upon the sea. |
Amen. |
